Except that you'd be forever banned from the forums. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

But I can see why Snowcone won out over here. We have snow, and it's in a cone. I'm dead serious about the Hawaiian Shaved Ice- they get mad if you call it a snow cone or snowball, they see it as a whole different technique and thus style. But I'll tell ya- sure does taste the same. _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn.

They come in styrofoam cups. So, why would we call them snowcones? _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

I've been wondering who that third vote was, other than a misvote. *curious* And yes, snowballs come in styrofoam cups around here. I've actually never seen one in a cone... _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

For the most part ours are in the paper cones you get with water coolers. or larger (vendor depending) I honestly thought they phased out the term snowballs for them due to that one thing. I had figured that it was a word like the swastika- Hitler made sure no one will be using that for a symbol for Luck anymore. And due to pop culture it had become snowcones. I had no clue it was still called a snowball. _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn.

Ahh I read up on it- a Snowball is a type like the Hawaiian- it's a shaved ice- and like the Hawaiians I can see why there is a major distinction. See snowcones are balls of ice. Snowballs are the same as Hawaiian shaved ice. (practically the same; more so then Snowcones vs Snowballs.) Queen Padmè Skywalker wrote: Well, they are on signs all over the South. I've never known any different. Has the South had much snow to know what a snowball is? (I'm not tryong to sound like a jerk- just pondering something) Cause if not I could see the definate appeal to the term snowball in that regard- for many Kids who have moved to Oregon form a hotter climate- seeing snow for the first time is magical and a snowball has a bit of power to itself. So I could see if it's not something you'd normally see that using that term to sell the ice would be a good gimmick. _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.

The first time I ever saw one was in this thread. But could someone please tell me (in private) what this slang snowball thing is? If the word 'snow ball' exists over here, I've not seen it. On another note, who calls the potato potahto? No one called it potahto until after that song came out! Come to think of it, no one called it potato before that song came out! Back then they were simply called Demon eggs. Yep. Demon eggs. Back in Nineteen dickety two. We had to say 'dickety' because the Jerries stole our word for Twenty... _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

And the time before that? 14 years prior. So the only things having anything to do with snow around here are the items pictured above. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker
